 The Aduuuistration has apparently despaired of getting any legislation of the pronounced free,trade type enact ed in the coming Congress. It's prin- cipal spOkesmsn all seem to agree that Tho only tax that is reasonably certain to be abolished Is the one on tobacco, which the free trader outside the to- baccO-growing States is perfectly vii. ling to let stand as 1t IS. The remis. sion of this tax would reduce tbe rev. enues between S27,O00O0o and S30,. 000,0O0 a year. When it comes to the import duties, however they perceive that the trouble begins, The Repub- licans, while anxious for tariff reyiz. ion, will resist all assaults on that sys- fem which the free traders wlll be likely to make. In thls they will be assisted by the Randall protechonists. In fact about the only measure oi tariff reduction which at the present time seems 10 stand any chance oi adoption IS the abolition or reduction of the duty on sugar. The repeal oi the tobacco tax and sugar duty would lessen the revenue about $75,0O0, ,000 or SS0,o00,0O0 leaving yearly sur. plus of perhaps s35,0OQ,000. This would be more than the free traders would like to have retained, but it IS less than the slnktng fund calls for, and Che sinking fund law is still on the national statute book.
